本文基于Bachman和Palmer的测试任务特征框架,从语篇输入和预期回答两个维度对2016-2020年浙江省高考英语卷阅读理解试题内容效度进行分析。研究发现,试题内容效度较高,具有科学性和稳定性,语篇布局合理,尤其重视考查高思维能力阅读技能,但在阅读技能和题材体裁覆盖面、难度和阅读速度要求等方面存在不足。本文建议修订《考试说明》、丰富题材体裁、提高阅读速度要求、把握难度;重视培养学生深层次阅读理解能力和构词猜词能力。

Based on Bachman and Palmer's task feature framework,this paper explores the content validity of the reading tests of Zhejiang NMET(2016-2020)from the aspects of input and expected response.The research findings show that the tests are of fairly high content validity given the scientific,steady nature and rational distribution,especially for the stress on testing high cognitive ability.However,some drawbacks still need improving in coverage of tests on reading skills and topics and genres,the requirement for reading speed and readability difficulty.Thus,this paper suggests revising examination syllabus,set readability difficulty reasonably and enhancing the variety of topics and genres as well as the requirement for reading speed,and strengthening the cultivation of high cognitive ability and the guidance on word-formation and guessing meanings of new words.
